How to Use the UnionPay Open Platform MCP in Pydantic AI

Q: How does Pydantic AI handle payment data integrity when using UnionPay Open Platform?

Pydantic validates every MCP response. When you use the initsecurepayment tool, the agent receives structured confirmation that the checkout session started correctly according to your schema.

Q: What payment verification steps can I perform with UnionPay Open Platform using Pydantic AI?

You can run verifycardkyc for identity checks, or generate a QR code using generateqrcode. Both results are validated against your models before the agent proceeds.

Q: If I use UnionPay Open Platform with Pydantic AI, how do I confirm transaction status?

You call getqrtransactionstatus, and because of Pydantic's validation, you are certain that the payment status returned—like 'COMPLETED' or 'FAILED'—is in the expected format.

Q: Can Pydantic AI manage both tokenization and risk checks using UnionPay Open Platform?

Yes. The agent can use requestcardtoken to tokenize a card, and then immediately follow up with checkcardriskstatus for validation on that specific card.

Q: Regarding data privacy when using UnionPay Open Platform with Pydantic AI, what specific data types are touched?

This server touches card tokens. The agent uses requestcardtoken, and the resulting token ID is validated by your Pydantic models, keeping you safe from unexpected or malformed raw payment data.

Execute Secure Payments with MCP Server

Your agent can reliably start a checkout session by calling `init_secure_payment`. Because the response is validated against Pydantic models, you're guaranteed that the payment setup data structure is correct. When processing payments for UnionPay, using `request_card_token` means your output will confirm the tokenization process worked, or it fails loudly if the API returns garbage data.

Check Payment Status and Risk Levels in Pydantic AI

You can check a payment's status by running `get_qr_transaction_status`. This is great for building reliable retry loops. Furthermore, calling `check_card_risk_status` ensures the risk data you get back fits your expected model schema. If the API sends unexpected fields, Pydantic AI will catch it immediately, preventing silent errors.

Manage Tokenization and Identity with MCP Server

Before anything else, run `verify_card_kyc` to validate user identity. The agent receives structured data confirming the KYC status from UnionPay. If you need to cut off access, calling `cancel_card_token` guarantees that the token management process adheres strictly to your defined Python types.
